Bianca and Peter chose a beautiful spot in Schenley Park for their engagement pictures. We met up by the Schenley Oval, overlooking the city. It was a gorgeous day, and the park was crowded with people. We walked a little bit away from the crowds for some privacy, and made some beautiful pictures!

Cindy & Ryan’s first date for engagement photos was rained out, but I’m almost glad it happened, because the day of their shoot was magical! The golf course let us borrow a few golf carts to explore in. During the shoot, they popped champagne and had a picnic right at sunset.

As most of you know, I've been out west traveling and exploring the state & national parks within driving distance from Vegas. One of my goals was to get some beautiful couple's sessions in while I was out there. Peyton & Levi were kind enough to wake up at the crack of dawn to meet me for a sunrise session right outside of Red Rock Canyon. When we got there, the sun still wasn't over the horizon.

proposal tips from a professional photographer

Proposing is one of the most exhilarating and nerve-wracking things a person will ever do. All the planning and scheming leading up to this moment may have caused you overlook a few important things (understandably!). Here are a few tips on how to create the best proposal ever!

After the question is popped and celebrations have been had, the next thing you should think about is getting your engagement photos taken! Engagement photos have so many benefits - check out a few of them below.

Brittany & Sefako got married, but haven't had the opportunity to celebrate with friends and family, as they've been busy focusing on med school. Now that they are finishing up, the time has come to throw a party, and that means making some epic save-the-dates!

Sarah and Jon wanted photos with the city in the background, but we ended up with so much more. The sunset that night rivaled that on any beach! It was incredible. They also brought their two adorable six-month old puppies.

Taylor and Christian decided on Oakland for their engagement shoot. We traveled all over, from inside the Cathedral of Learning, to Phipps, to the columns, to Panther Hollow. We hiked trails, enjoyed the sunshine, and had a ton of fun.

Maggie and Nate wanted a nature-inspired shoot, and there is no better place to go for that than North Park. We had a perfect day, and managed to incorporate the lake, a waterfall, a field, woods, and more into their session. Pretty impressive for being out for only two hours! They hiked all over the park (and may have driven a little too) to get to the perfect spots. I'm so happy with how the session turned out!

Jourdan & Vince are getting married next month. Luckily, we managed to sneak in an engagement session, just under the wire! They wanted to capture an authentic, Pittsburgh shoot, so we went to a few classic locations - Phipps and Mt. Washington.

Nicole and Patrick were determined to have their engagement photos taken during Pittsburgh's annual Arts Fest, and I am so thankful it worked out! One of the coolest exhibits during this year's show was a sidewalk covered by rainbow umbrellas....
